RANDOM ACCESS METHOD, DEVICE, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

Abstract

Embodiments of the present application provide a random access method, a device, and a storage medium. The random access method is applied to a terminal device, and comprises: determining a window of a physical random access channel (PRACH) or determining burst of the PRACH. According to the random access method provided by the embodiments of the present application, the terminal device determines the window of the PRACH or the burst of the PRACH, so that synchronization between the time at which the terminal device sends a preamble and the time at which a non-anchor cell is enabled can be ensured, and the preamble sent by the terminal device can be synchronously detected or received after the non-anchor cell is enabled; thus, periodic detection of PRACH activities by the non-anchor cell can be reduced, and excessive random access delay can also be avoided, thereby achieving the purposes of saving energy of the network and supporting load balancing.
